So don’t delay, book your place(s) now to take advantage of the early bird rates!

The NISO Plus conference is developed by and for the global information community. Each year our planning committee of information professionals from around the world helps us identify the topics and speakers that are of most interest to them and their organizations, which form our invited sessions. We invite session proposals from the community, to expand the coverage further. And this year, we’re also incorporating the most popular ideas generated at the NISO Plus Forum in September into the conference program. Together with keynotes from David Weinberger, Caleb Kibet, Yuko Harayama, and Miles Conrad Awardee, Safiya Umoja Noble, we can guarantee that there truly will be something for everyone at NISO Plus 2023.

Here are just some of the topics and themes we’re looking forward to!

Metadata

Metadata is THE hot topic at this year’s conference. We have an entire track dedicated to the topic, and there are also numerous sessions in the other tracks. Whether you want to know how to design a metadata fitness program, make the business case for metadata, or visualize institutional research activity using PID metadata, if you’re interested in metadata then NISO Plus 2023 is the conference for you!

Asia Pacific

If you’re based in the Asia Pacific region — or interested in getting an Asia Pacific perspective on information community issues — we have a great program lined up for you. As in previous years, NISO Plus 2023 is divided into two blocks of time, one of which takes place during Asia Pacific office hours, and that includes our closing keynote, by Dr. Harayama. 

Librarians

Ensuring that we include a librarian perspective in as many sessions as possible is key to NISO Plus’s success as a conference for the whole information community. A sample from this year includes: collaborating to implement Seamless Access; creating digital collections with and for Indigenous communities; understanding the value of OA usage information; metadata quality and completeness; and more.  

As usual, we will be pre-recording most of the presentations and playing them live during the conference, followed by the in-depth audience discussions you’ve come to associate with NISO Plus.The recordings will be made available to registrants before the conference, so you can listen in at any time, irrespective of when the live session is taking place.

For more information, please check out the full schedule. And remember—register now to benefit from the early bird discount!

Best wishes
